Long would have got six weeks minimum. Absolute minimum.
The way picket jumped into him, he is very lucky.

Long wouldn't have done that anyway. He would have braced and ironed him out straight up the middle.

Still would have got weeks.

I’ve been watching footy for 45 years and he’s just got it. Same here. And oh boy does he have it. The only other bloke on our list that has it as much as #25 is Sinclair. Sinclair was a slow burn to get where he is at today. #25 just freakin oozes it. At first I thought he as a bit cocky, but he's...

If you have a great tank and/or quick, there’s a fair chance you’ll be a chance to get a game under the boss. Running is a massive part of the pre season thus far, with emphasis on endurance and repeat 400 metre runs. Our game will be based on run and spread, so the endurance beasts such as Wood, W...

Lyon has been there before. Therefore he’ll do it again. That’s the logic; right? Ratten had some success in finals AND with 2 different teams over his career so why couldn’t he do that again? Granted he didn’t go all the way, but he had success with THIS squad in recent times. Would have been a di...

I was there a couple of weeks back and the pool was pretty busy.

I was there a couple of weeks back and the pool was pretty busy.

He is listed at 186cms and 80 kgs.

Sorry, but that is pretty damn light.

Steel for example is 1cm taller and EIGHT kgs heavier.

He could do with losing what appears to be puppy fat... STILL.

And replacing it with muscle. Surely he would be better off at say 85kgs.

Well I want a premiership.

Wouldn't that be fun.

Need to manage his training load because of his age. Chances are he will push too hard and hurt himself or develop stress fractures or some other typical St.Kilderish thing.

Kid will be a gun. Absolute gun. 100% legit elite A grader.

Very soon.

He does need to get stronger. Bigger.
Or he is just limiting his options.

I have to be clear, I really, really rate Ross Lyon as a coach. I consider him to be an excellent match day coach, and game plan freaking master. Hopefully he has the fire in the belly for that Flag. I hope its burning. At this point, I would say that I expect Lyon to be better in almost every way t...

You cant have a team of big names until they make big names of themselves. This list has a few holes and or weak spots, but in general, there is a large amount of overhead. Most teams have this really, but it is never achieved. We have not seen anywhere near the best of King, Clark, Coffield, Sincla...

Lienert is a bit unlucky but realistically he was a one year cover for Coffield. Could certainly do a reasonable job for another side, but that's two years in a row that he's been delisted now.

Absolutely it is.

Not many secrets can be kept down at Linton Street these days. Never a good sign. You're kidding right? No one knew about Ratts until it had already happened. Tight as a fkn drum. As for hiding the Lyon courting... If you have peeps camped out at the presidents house in deepest pocket Brighton... W...

Yeah I dont think the last coach rated him.

WIll be interesting to see what Ross gets out of him. I still reckon he can play.

We havent had a plan B for 150 years.

This is a good thing.

No matter what, we will be better.

Watch the '09 crew get on board now.

I understand the ill will.

When Lyon left, it was like being forced into a divorce and the other half took your dog.

Need to get over it and move on.

Maybe you can blame Ross for it. It definitely was the catalyst for our decline when he left. We hired a shyte coach to replace him. And then another. Our list management was run by incompetent clowns for effectively a generation of list turnover. To be honest if you really want to look for scapegoa...

Couldn't get it done.

Next.

We will never win one.

We just wont.

This is funny. Yeah sure, a win is a win. Good to win in Perth for the second time this year. But do you really reckon Brett Ratten will actually see out his contract if we continue with these garbage F50 entries? Do you really reckon Brett Ratten will actually see out his contract when the team is ...

Look, it all depends. Does he make his bed in the morning? Do the dishes for his mum? Hannas gets a bad wrap. He really does. We are the mob that wanted to pay him. He would have been a fool to turn it down. He even took a pretty big haircut apparently on his instigation. I dont care anymore. You ha...

You know this might have something to do with Lethers saying we had overachieved and really were not that good just before the bye. This attitude shyte harps back to last year as well. The best teams in this comp bring unquestionable effort. Even in their losses. Our losses are generally plain garba...
